Smoking Weed... Bad mom??

Okay , I'm sure I'm 8 weeks , I go find out tomorrow but anywho. Since I've found out I was pregnant I had stopped smoking weed. But this month my morning sickness feels like it lasts all day. I smoke a few puffs so I can get hungry and eat because I feel sick when im not even hungry so I have to force myself to eat something. I will stop eventually when it calms down , no problem. I just wanna know if I'm a bad mom for doing this?

Hi ladies,
This isn't a good place to discuss what you think of smoking marijuana.  It's still illegal in many places, and in most where it isn't, it requires a prescription.  Additionally, if it is legal, we suggest discussing the risks and benefits with a medical professional.  This is a public forum, and anyone can see what is posted here.

I wouldn't brand you a bad mum! Lots of people do it and are great parents. There is also no proven studies to say it causes damage to your baby. The thing that will do damage is tobacco. My sister smoked all the way through both her pregnancies and her kids are fine. One was 8.6 and the other was 8.4oz when born. Obviously it would be better not to smoke but if it's the only thing that works for you then so be it. Also congratulations x

Thanks I still have 27 days leFt in pregnancy.. I have smoked up till now but to avoid dfcs getting involved I shall quit untill after she comes. I don't believe smoking marijuana harms the baby as long as done in moderation...its help my nausea mostly I haven't been able to keep anything down without smoking..

There are no scientific studies that prove smoking in small amounts when pregnat is harmful to your child. I know a lot of people who have smoked through the whole pregnancy and had a very healthy baby. My friend just had a baby girl (her 1st) and she smoked up till 27 days before her due date and her little Girl came out 8 pounds 7 oz. Actually some doctors tell u if your morning sickness is bad smoking a little is less harmful than the drugs they give you for the nausea.. Well that's just my thoughts and I don't care what anyone says that doesn't make me a bad mother.
